Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 18, 2015, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., Jefferies LLC and MLV & Co. LLC (collectively, the “Managers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may sell, from time to time through the Managers, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000 (the “Shares”). Sales of the Shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Managers.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company may also sell Shares from time to time to a Manager as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Shares to a Manager as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and such Manager.

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s existing effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-188640).

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Managers, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

An affiliate of BMO Capital Markets Corp. is a lender under the Company’s revolving credit facility and may receive a portion of the proceeds from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, to the extent such proceeds are used to repay amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Managers and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the Managers and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to the Company and to persons and entities with relationships with the Company, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
